Chianti Classico 2021
The Chianti Classico Riecine represents the fresh and fragrant style characteristic of the territory of Gaiole in Chianti. Its lively and youthful scent reminds of fruits and flowers on a slightly balsamic and spicy background. It has a smooth, refreshing, seemingly light taste, but is actually tasty and lingering. It is an elegant Chianti Classico that makes drinkability its strong point. The vineyards extend in various plots on the mountains behind the village of Gaiole between 450 and 500 meters above sea level. The soil is rich in limestone and clay, elements that are congenial to the quality expression of Sangiovese. It is produced with artisanal care and with organic farming.
The harvest is manual and the grapes are then selected on a sorting table before alcoholic fermentation. This takes place in concrete vats with a maceration of 10 days. Subsequently the wine ages for 14 months in large barrels and exhausted tonneau.
